Esmi Skincare; Review and Tips for using them!

Hey Guys,

Welcome back to my Blog, I have been trying to be more active with my Blog Posts, so I hope you guys are liking them. Let me know what you want to see more of. I am also hoping to start Youtube again so let me know if there is any videos you want to see.

Todays review is of the Esmi Skincare skin treats!

I tried out the Exfoliating Charcoal Serum, Brightening Serum and the Anti Redness serum as well. The charcoal one came with a buffing brush as well.

Reviews; 

Overall;

They work well under makeup, leave the skin feeling fresh and give instant visual results on the skin.

For the charcoal serum you have to use the buffing brush otherwise you will have a dark tint on the skin. I noticed my skin did purge a bit after the first week of using it. Then it settled down and my skin was left soft and clear. The anti redness serum is a minty serum and left my skin feeling cool and fresh under my makeup too. The brightening serum was fresh and worked great under my eyes to brighten my dark circles.

The Anti redness was probably my favourite serum, it gave the most visual results and left my skin feeling amazing.

My least favourite would be the charcoal, mainly because it really had to be buffed into the skin if you weren’t wearing makeup otherwise it kind of looked like muddy fake tan.

What I rate Them;

Charcoal; 9/10 

Brightening; 8/10

Anti Redness: 9/10

Sculpsure; Review, results and where to get it done!

Hey Guys,

Welcome back to my blog, over the last few months Ive been trialling the Sculpsure sessions at The Gold Coast Medical Precinct in Varsity Lakes. They have been amazing and so helpful sharing all the science behind sculpsure for me.

Here is a little video as well incase you want to know more.

Sculpsure Video

To start off I wanted to share a bit of info about Sculpsure; who its for, how it works and so on!

How It Works and the side effects;

The sessions take 25 minutes per area, there isn’t really any side effects; the main one is after the session for a week your fat is a bit tender and has to be massage regularly.

Info on it;

Minimal absorption in dermis leaves skin’s surface unharmed

Contact Cooling™ enhances patient comfort

Feathering of heat spread provides natural-looking results

Up to 24% fat reduction in multisite trials of over 100 patients

Mild and transient side effects

HOW LONG BEFORE I CAN RESUME NORMAL ACTIVITIES?

There is no downtime with SculpSure, so you can be treated during your lunch hour and return to work afterwards.

WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?

Most patients start to see results within 6 weeks, with optimal results usually seen at 12 weeks. I could see mine before 6 weeks and could see it even more after my second session.

HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?

Fat cells are permanently destroyed during the treatment. The destroyed fat is then processed by the lymphatic system and naturally eliminated from the body. Once the fat leaves the body, it is gone forever!

My Results and Experience;

I was really impressed with my results, I went in not really expecting any results but definitely saw results. The treatment itself takes 25 minutes and is quite uncomfortable, not unbearable but definitely uncomfortable. It goes through hot and cold sensations and at its worst on my stomach it almost felt like bad period pains. Each session and area felt slightly different and was more bearable if i just distracted myself with my phone and didn’t think about the pain. I found talking made the pain worse because I wasn’t fully distracted. Here is my results. On the top left is before my first treatment, bottom left is before the second and the one on the right is before my third treatment.

Costs, Review, others results and similar treatments and costs;

So for each session it costs an average of $700 per session and they recommend 2 or more sessions for the best results.

Blackbough Swim; haul, unboxing and try on!

Hey Guys,

Welcome back to my Blog! Todays Blog Post is a haul and try on of some of the Blackbough Swim Collections.

I got 3 pairs and a one piece from their site:

• Daisy Daze – Tallulah Top and Maui Bottoms
• Candy Cane- Kylie One Piece
• Red – Stassy Top and Stassy Cheeky Bottoms
• NY Noir – Willow Top and Stassy Bottoms

The collection is really well priced; Each piece is around $40US, Some being $45, then the one pieces are $85US. The pieces are comfortable and supportive, and they are also flattering.

Here is a little try on of each pair;

Here is the NY Noir willow top and stassy bottoms.

I love the shape of the bottoms and the top, they are comfortable and flattering. These bottoms are probably my favourite overall in both colours I got them in. I think they are more flattering to my body shape and don’t make me look chunky.

Next up is the one piece. It is so comfortable and well made, the pattern isn’t very flattering on my body shape but I still love it. I think next time I will go for a plain one piece though.

Next is one of their newer styles; the daisy daze set. This one is probably my favourite. I wish I got the cheekier bottoms in this set though. I am definitely going to be investing in more of their bikinis because they are amazing quality. Here is the back of this bikini.

Lucky last is the Red bikini.

I love the shape of this bikini as well, it took a little while getting used to the low front bottoms but now I love them!

This is the back;

I am so in love with all the bikinis I was sent, there’s nothing worse then buying a bikini that is uncomfortable and unflattering.

Which is your favourite of my haul? I love the Daisy Daze!

They gave me a code to share with you guys

Hi everyone,

Welcome back! I have a few exciting Blog posts on the way so make sure to keep tuned!

@thatbloggerjade

Tonight’s blog is about the new Mecca Maxima Banana Bake products that I was lucky enough to be sent to try. So I thought I would share my honest thoughts and review.

For $50AUD The products in the set include;

– Banana bake loose powder

– banana bake setting spray

– bake and set brush

Also available is the Banana bake pressed powder which is $24AUD.

I have tried and used each product available in the Banana bake range and here is what I think of them;

Banana bake loose powder

The banana bake loose powder is a lightweight slightly glowy setting powder, a little goes a long way and it leaves the under eyes area looking smooth and bright.

What I love about it;

It has a glowy finish to make them complexion look fresh.

What I don’t like about it;

I feel like it lowers my concealer coverage under the eyes slightly.

I rate it;

8/10

Banana bake setting spray

The banana bake setting spray is a great way to keep your makeup in place!

What I like about it;

I never get oily when I use it!

What I don’t like about it;

Its main ingredient is alcohol so not so great for any dry skin babes!

I rate it;

5/10

Bake and Set Brush

The bake and set brush is a two sided brush designed to pick up the perfect amount of powder.

What I love about it;

The bristles are soft and it’s so cheap to buy.

What I don’t like;

I wish the fluffy side of the brush was bigger.

I rate it;

8/10

Banana bake pressed powder

The banana bake pressed powder is similar to the loose in the way that it has a glowy finish. I find the powder to be softer and higher in pigment.

What I like about it;

It leaves the skin looking flawless.

What I don’t like about it;

Honestly nothing, the pressed powder doesn’t have the fault that I found in the loose. It doesn’t lower the coverage it actually makes it more full coverage.

I rate it;

10/10

Overall;

The products are beautiful, high quality and so cheap!

Are they worth the buy;

100%, especially either of the powders.

Below I included a picture of me using the powders lightly.

Has anyone had a chance to try the powders?

What did you think of them? Or do you have any other powders you recommend?

My Latest Overseas Haul! How Much Money Did I Save?

Hey Guys, welcome back to my page. If you have been following me for a while you would know I love using shipping services to save money on products, people like me in Australia pay a fortune for; as well as products they don’t sell in Australia.

For this Haul I used the site The Luxe Link, which I will link at the bottom of the page.

The Luxe Link is a service, and not a reseller of luxury goods. They are a shopping concierge based in New York City, that provides access to America’s online and traditional retailers. I used the service to access Nordstorm and their amazing deals and limited edition products.

In my haul I got;

• Hourglass ambient lighting palette 3 $80US
• Mac Prep and Prime Fixing Spray $25US
• Mac Look in a Box Early to Red $36.50
• Mac Viva Glam 1 and 3 $17.50US Each

Total:

$176.50US = $229.70 AUD

Worth in Australia:

• Hourglass ambient lighting palette 3 (Currently Unavailable in Australia so US transferred to AUD) $104.15AUD
• Mac Prep and Prime Fixing Spray $36AUD
• Mac Look in a Box Early to Red $99AUD
• Mac Viva Glam 1 and 3 $36AUD Each

Total: $311.15AUD

Meaning when you order with them you are saving $81.45AUD on the products you buy!

I don’t know about you but that makes Service fees so worth it for shipping services and makes me want to buy more from America, it also makes me want to move to America!

Has anyone used shipping services before? Did you get any amazing deals?

Also I have been given a code for if you guys want to make an order with them yourself, i don’t make any money off it.

https://www.theluxelink.com
https://www.theluxelink.com/request/
The code is “JADE” and you will get $50US off your sale over $200US. The code will be valid till December 31st.

If you make an order let me know what you get!

 

My Feel Unique Haul and Unboxing ( Review and maybe a giveaway hint ;) )

Hey guys welcome back to my page, I am trying to make my posts more regular for you guys but I’ve been a bit stressed lately and it’s made it hard to get motivated enough to write so I am sorry for my irregular posting!
This posts is about my recent order with Feel Unique which is a UK based retailer that stocks an amazing collection of brands including Sigma, benefit, laura geller, star skin, skyn Iceland, urban decay, bars and so many more of my favourites. 
For my order i picked all things I’ve wanted to try for ages but was hesitant on buying! So to start off I got the sigma detail brushes which includes 8 different brushes that are perfect for any detail obsessed makeup addict; These specifically designed brushes help solve small challenges in makeup application, such as creating a perfectly edged lip, coating lashes from base to tip and applying eyeliner smoothly and evenly. This set is $133 making the brushes about $16 each so I was really happy with price. The brushes themselves are amazing quality and are super easy to clean. 
Next I got the Laura Geller 20th anniversary highlight in the powder which was $21 and this is probably my favourite product I bought, the colour is seriously gorgeous and whenever I wear it I get constant compliments! Sadly the powder is currently sold out but they still have the stick available so I definitely recommend it for anyone who is looking for a bomb AF highlight.  
Next I got the Starskin Hollywood party pack
Each Starskins Hollywood Party Gift Set comes with:
– GLOWSTAR™ Foaming Peeling Perfection Puff 
– After Party™ Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Brightening Face Mask
– Red Carpet Ready™ Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Hydrating Face Mask
– Eye Catcher™ Smoothing Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Eye Mask
– DREAMKISS™ Plumping and Hydrating Bio-Cellulose Lip Mask
– complimentary The Gold Mask™ VIP Revitalizing Luxury Coconut Bio-Cellulose Second Skin Face Mask
– STARSKIN headband
The set costs $41 but has over $61 worth of products included. It’s a great way to try a bunch of products a little bit cheaper so you know what you love and want to get again! My top favourites from this set were the eye catcher second skin eye masks and the plumping lip masks. Both gave me a visible instant difference in my appearance. After the lip masks i could definitely see my lips were more plump, it look like I have gotten my lips done again and the swelling had already passed. 
Then I got some gel masks from Skyn Iceland I got the prep for a party set which is $10.40 and comes with;
– A pair of Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels to help firm, tone, brighten and reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles under the eyes.
– A pair of Hydro Cool Firming Face Gels for Smile Lines that helps flatten expression lines while preventing future ones from forming.
– A Hydro Cool Firming Face Gel for Forehead patch that helps visibly fill in forehead creases with a concentrated dose of line-plumping, skin-smoothing, ingredients.
– A plumping gel patch designed to improve the look, definition and overall health lips.
My favourite for this set was the same as the last set the eyes and lip masks just were an absolute winner for me. They were quick and easy to use and gave me results I was really impressed with. 
Then I got the Hoola Bronzer by benefit which was $24.50 and I wasn’t 100% sure on this one. The texture of the bronzer was nice but it was too dark for my skin, I was so sad because I have heard amazing things about Hoola and I really wanted to love it. I do love most benefit products I have tried though. Does anyone have a favourite benefit product I should try? 
Then lucky last I got collistar patch reshaping treatment which is essentially a wrap that is meant to use active ingredients to burn fat and reshape the body. I really wanted to like these as I thought they were a pretty cool idea but I was actually really unhappy with them your meant to be able to wear them all day comfortably for 8 hours, I put one on and you could see it under my clothes even though it was meant to be invisible under clothes and then once I went to take it off it was extremely painful and actually ripped part of my skin off. For about 2 weeks I had raw skin on my stomach so it definitely wasn’t an enjoyable experience for me. 
Has anyone tried them before? Did you have the same issue, or could I have had a dodgy batch. 
So this is the end of my haul review; for the review of the company themselves I think Feel Unique is amazing. They have an amazing range of products that are well priced, they have great deals and specials available and their shipping is so fast. I will definitely be buying from them again! Has anyone shopped with Feel Unique? What did you get? And if you haven’t and your going to, what are you thinking of getting? 
Here is the link if you want to have a look at what they have.

Also I am planning on a giveaway for when I hit 50k on instagram. What should I include? 

My Glambot Vault Haul and experience!

Hey guys welcome back to my blog! Today’s post is about my latest Glambot haul and experience. If you don’t know what Glambot is, it is a website that allows you to sell or buy new and used makeup safely and hygeinically. They always have amazing deals and I have been addicted ever since I found out about them. I have done probably 8 orders with them so far and I always get almost brand new products. This time I got the Glitter Shimmer bundle from the vault and it was $24US for $120 worth of product. They have too faced palettes for $20 and bars or Mac lipsticks for under $10. They are definitely worth checking out. 

I pictured above my haul and I was really happy with it, I got all brands I love!

I got a shadow, a bronzer, glitter pills, a lip pencil, a eyeshadow brush, eye primer and a liner. I was really impressed with the coordination of the products the set looked organised well and generous. I don’t think I have ever made an order that I wasn’t happy with, they have great customer service as well. One of my previous orders I got a Mac lip palette but it had been listed wrong and the colours were different and they reimbursed me for the mistake and let me keep the palette. 

If you want to check them out or do a little shop here is the link; it isn’t a affiliate link and I don’t make any money from you shopping with them. 

Glambot
Has anyone shopped with Glambot before? If so what did you get? I love seeing everyone else’s hauls and hearing about people’s experiences. I personally love Glambot but I want to know what you think of it; what do you love and what don’t you love? 

Also what is your favourite makeup brand? 

You Foodz, my most recent order and review

Hey guys so if you’ve followed me for a while you would know that I order from you foodz quite regularly, I think their meals are amazing I am yet to find a meal prep company that can compare. The meals are a great size without being super high in calories; there is a massive variety of meals you can get, as well as snacks. 

The protein mint slice is to die for, I could eat it breakfast, lunch and dinner! 

This weeks favourite meal is; the YFC chicken and slaw which is what my photo is! I think my favourite thing about you foodz is the amount of time it saves me, meal prep can take up so much time; especially if you are cooking every night! 

Plus it makes it easier to keep up with the calories you are consuming if you struggle to lose weight like I do. The You foodz meals have really helped me get back into my regular routine and start working off all the weight I gained while studying because I was always eating take out 😭

In the four months while studying I probably gained about 5kgs and it made me feel disgusting! Getting back on real food and portioned meals has made a crazy difference, in a week I had lost about 3kgs because my body was carrying so much water weight from eating bad and not getting any exercise. I have now lost about 5kgs of fat but I have gained some muscle. 

The biggest difference I can see is in my body itself though, and how I feel about it. My stomach has started to flatten and debloat, my face is getting more slim and my skin has started to clear up ( except for one evil pimple that has just popped up over night 😭).

I definitely can’t wait to see more results in myself, because seeing even the slightest change has made me so much happier. 

If you guys are wanting to try your foodz the link below will get you one free meal 💁🏼. And if you get your free meal I get a free meal too. 

You foodz
Has anyone tried you foodz before?

What did you think? And what’s your favourite meal? 

My Ry.com.au haul! Unboxing And review!

Hey guys welcome back to my page,

This post will be talking about both the Skinstitut  products I have recently tried as well as my experience with Ry.com.au and their service. 

I have shopped with ry.com.au quite a few times, they have a massive variety of products from makeup to skincare to haircare and wellness products; they also recently opened an area for makeup artists to shop for pro products. 

Here is the link to Ry;

Ry.com.au
They are always having different promotions and sales, they have afterpay (do I really need to say more!), they do free shipping over $99 and they price match 👌🏻

They stock over 250 brands including so many of my favourites!

So for the products themself I got four products from skinstitut 

– moisture defence for normal skin 

– the hydrating mask

– multi active oil 

– multi active mist 

They are all amazing products; on ry I will leave there pricing below. As well they currently have 33% off skinstitut so make sure you take advantage of that;

All four are priced; 

Normally $45

Currently $30.15

My favourite out of them all is the multi active mist it is so good for cooling your face in the summer as well as refreshing you, it’s great as a priming spray for your face as well as after makeup to help set it. 

The hydrating mask has also been perfect getting my skin back into shape after the winters damage and also to prep my skin for the warmer weather to come. I have combination skin and the weather recently has set it off like crazy, I am like a scaly lizard so I’ve been using this twice a week to help bring the moisture back into my skin! 

Do you have any favourite skinstitut products to try? 

and have you shopped with ry before?

If you have let me know how your shop went! 

Also let me know what you want me to post about next!?!
